Winter Letter 2

Dear the Thick Clouds,
Thank you for being magnificent on the days when there are only a few of you. You really make for some nice sunsets. But lately, you haven't been working well together. Lately, Thick Clouds, you have been stealing the Sun's thunder and upstaging it big time. Please consider working out a schedule that allows you to all be around only at night, and the sun can be out only during the day. Exceptions: nights with a full moon, and nights with meteor showers.
Thank you for your consideration,
Laura

Winter Letter 1

Dear the Sun,
Where are you? Even though I try to stay positive and tell myself that it is a gift to be able to watch you both rise and set within one workday, it is difficult when you don't even show your face. Now I know you can't really help that there are very thick clouds everywhere, and I will write them a letter too. But could you please try harder? I need my vitamin D, and it is so tiring when it is dark all day and all night.
Thanks and Sincerely,
Laura

I don't care how mundane it is. I love these kind of pictures. No flash...no one posing...depth...et cetera

seek and ye shall find!

Song in my head.

Ok, so when we got here, there were some tall ship races going on. As we stood in the harbor watching the ships parade away, one ship (MIR, I think) had the most beautiful exit song. I don't know the name of it, except that it is a majestic sounding, familiar opera. That evening, with the song fresh in my head, I tried to figure out the name of it. No such luck.

Fast forward to today, I am sitting in the cafeteria eating lunch, and this same song is playing on the radio. Now I am determined to figure it out!

Here are some clues that I can come up with:
Opera
A duet sung by a man and a woman
Familiar tune
Majestic

Then I went online to a virtual piano (I'm in my office, no actual piano in here), and plunked around until I could figure out the notes to the most familiar part...matched with paint brush, here is what I could come up with:


I don't know what time or key the song is in. Sorry.
In case my artwork is hard to read, here are the notes:

GBACBG...and then up an octave...GF#DGF#DBD

Anyone? Anyone? Help me out, I'm losing my mind!

PS: Aunt Linda, send me an email if you know it!
